Day 12 - #JayPeak #Vermont 337 inches they say so far this year. Not much wind, the sun is out, and the mountain is in great shape. The skins came out of the pack for a climb to the summit from the top of ‘The Bonny’ (avoided the line for the tram). #ski #skiing #skitheeast #vt #skivt #skivermont 🎿

Will the latest iteration of the Trump administration’s supercharged “flood the zone with sh*t” strategy be a global macroeconomic mega-deal — an agreement that outdoes even the famous 1985 Plaza Accord in ambition? on.ft.com/3D36E5a

These open-ended talks suit Putin just fine. Whereas Trump views them as a way to end a “ridiculous” war, Putin sees them as a stage in a larger conflict - The Economist. Putin believes Trump is not just impatient, but manipulable.

In the classical world, to claim power over the sea was a clear sign of the ABUSE of power: Xerxes having the sea whipped, Roman plutocrats building over it. I think I know what they would have thought about RE-NAMING it!

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

“The point is, like all good Bond villains who would rather colonise Mars than go to therapy, Elon has revealed his plans with more than enough time to stop them before the film ends. Doing so, however, does call for people to step forward. The Coup Klux Klan can be foiled.”💯
